New Yorkers have been in need of real action for years now: action to reverse climate change, action to make health care and prescription medication more affordable, action to curb gun violence.
But Lee Zeldin used your vote in Congress to sow doubt in our democratic institutions, rip away health care for people with pre-existing conditions, and cozy up to the gun lobby.
This isn't what New Yorkers want and certainly not what we need -- thankfully, it doesn't look like Lee Zeldin will be running for a fourth term, but the work he's done to stall progress for our community will have lasting impacts.
Now, we have the best chance we've had in years to flip this seat blue and elect a leader with a real vision for Long Island. We can secure real progress for our community all while playing a key role in protecting the House Majority in the 2022 midterms, but not without your help.
Here's the worst-case scenario: We fall short on our fundraising goals, we fall behind in the race, and another out-of-touch politician who values power over people is elected to represent us in Congress.
If that happens, we risk another 2 years of inaction on issues that matter -- inaction that will have profound consequences for our communities.
